[ale] WineX comments?

[James P. Kinney III]

I may play with it a bit. I'm currently compiling it from CVS. The
winehq release from a few weeks ago of wine actually did quite well fr
my 3 year old "Blue's Clues" games. The big test is if it will run my 12
year olds "Nancy Drew Mysteries".

Oh yeah. I also sorry to report that my 12 year old has discovered how
to make "Brittany Spears" collages with the gimp for background images.
At least it's not InStynk :)
